Josh’s talk will also be complimented by a team of irrigation and greywater specialist who will further engage with participants on water saving principles through demonstrations and an extended Q&A session.

Urban Wetland Education with ‘Facts & Frogs’

Woven through the activities for the session is making homes for urban wildlife.

We start by building a frog pond on stage, then invite kids to help develop our city wetland by releasing animals into our wetland. In our second talk, we’ll add habitat around our frog pond (as is happening in the Cultural Centre & Urban Orchard).

In the activities surrounding the wetland, Families will play with natural objects, create creatures and look at animals that live in urban wetlands and bushlands, as well as participating in wetland fauna releases approximately every 15 minutes.

In our finale, the Wildlife Art Parade, kids will be part of an animal invasion into our wildlife garden on the wetland stage.
